  3. IACS U I 181 - BDEAP • The content of Regulation 15 • The purpose of IACS BDEAP • The role of the human element • The bridge system • Bridge system failures • The approach and structure of BDEAP • Rules • Requirements • Guidance notes • Notes • Documentation • Tests and trials • Appendices • Regulation 15 - Improving Safety of Navigation

  4. SOLAS V - Regulation 15 Decisions which are made for the purpose of applying the requirements of regulations 19, 22, 24, 25, 27 and 28 which affect • bridge design • design and arrangement of navigational systems and equipment on the bridge and • bridge procedures shall be taken with the aim of:

  5. Aims of regulation 15 • facilitating the tasks to be performed by the bridge team in navigating the ship safely • promoting safe bridge resource management • enabling the bridge team to have access to essential information • indicating the operational status of automated functions • allowing for effective decision making by the bridge team • preventing excessive work • minimizing the risk of human error

  6. IACS U I - 181 is developed to serve as a common reference document for the interpretation and implementation of SOLAS V/15 for the benefit of: • Maritime administrations and Classification societies - ensuring a complete and unified approval • Ship owners, Shipyards and Designers - giving guidance and predictable approval procedures • Navigators - providing workplaces meeting user requirements • Safety of navigation • reducing the risk of human errors

  7. The Human Element An integral part of the total bridge system

  8. The Bridge Systemcomprises 4 vital elements: • The Mariner • The Technical system • The Man-machine system • Operational procedures

  9. Thenavigation bridge system • The Mariner With the ability to evaluate, decide and execute the decisions taken for safe performance of bridge functions

  10. The navigation bridge system • The Mariner • The Technical System Designed to provide sufficient information and the controls needed for safe operation of the functions dedicated the bridgesystem

  11. The navigation bridge system • The Mariner • The Technical System • The Man-machine System Ensuring that the operationalpart of the technical system is designed with due regard to human mental and physical capability

  12. The navigation bridge system • The Mariner • The Technical System • The Man-machine System Operational procedures Established to ensure that the total bridge system performs efficiently within safety limits under all operating conditions

  13. Bridge system failure • Human errors • Related to: • Qualifications • Quality • Selection of personnel • Situation caused errors • Related to: • Poor workplace design • Lack of human • engineering • Intricate procedures required to compensate for poor technical solutions

  14. Bridge system failure • The Mariner Operational procedures The Technical System The Man-machine System

  15. Human error in bridge operations Operator responsibility? “80 % of all accidents are caused by Human-Errors” 80 % of all accidents are caused by failure in the bridge system

  21. IACS U I - 181 • A 2.1.1 Requirements • The requirements are made for the purpose of ensuring that application of requirements of regulations 19, 22, 24, 25, 27 and 28, which affect bridge design, the design and arrangement of navigational systems and equipment on the bridge and bridge procedures, meet the relevant aims specified in SOLAS V/15 • The requirements cover applicable parts of MSC/Circ.982 and relevant IMO resolutions

  22. IACS U I - 181 A 2.1.2 Guidance note • Give guidance as to how the requirements may be met by acceptable technical solutions or other remedies when applicable. • A guidance note given does not in any way exclude alternative solutions that may fulfill the purpose and intention of the requirement • providing other requirements and the overall bridge functionality are not adversely affected.

  23. IACS U I - 181 Notes. • Notes are used to give useful information which does not necessarily affect the approval in relation to regulation 15, but may affect the choice of compliant solutions when relevant.

  24. IACS U I - 181 There are two appendices attached to the BDEAP standard: • Appendix 1 contains three individual annexes for clarification and consideration of: • the aims of regulation 15 • the documents referred to by regulation 15 and the regulations to be applied, cross referencing the individual aims of regulation 15 and the regulations affected. • the effect of MSC/Circ.982 on the requirements of regulation 22 “Bridge navigation visibility”

  25. IACS U I - 181 • Appendix 2 contains examples of location of main equipment on the bridge • Focusing on principles for location of equipment for allowing a long centre console to separate the front workstations

  26. IACS U I – 181Appendix 1, Annex 1 Clarifying the aims of regulation 15 Example: AIM 15 .4 • Indicating the operational status(4) of automated functions(1)and integrated components(2), systems and/or sub-systems(3) .1 Relevant automated functions • Steering a set course • Plotting of ship’s position in an electronic chart system .2 Relevant integrated components • Heading control unit • Electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) • .3 Relevant sub-systems: • Track control system • Integrated navigation systems (INS), including • Grounding avoidance system for automatic route-keeping

  27. IACS U I – 181Appendix 1, Annex 2 • Identifies the scope, purpose and main requirements of guidelines and standards referred to and regulations addressed by Regulation 15, which include: • MSC/Circ. 982 • IBS • INS • Regulation 19 • Regulation 22 • Regulation 24 • Regulation 25 • Regulation 27 • Regulation 28

  28. IACS U I – 181Appendix 1, Annex 3 ”Harmonizing” Regulation 22 and applicable guidelines in MSC/Circ 982 • The main (only) difference is: • Specified fields of vision related to the ”conning position” in Regulation 22 are related to the workstation for navigating and manoeuvring in the Circular The BDEAP harmonizes the regulation and the guidelines by specifying that workstations providing the fields of vision required for safe conning may be used as an alternative conning positions when there is a need for additional information from equipment installed at such workstation.

  29. Safety of Navigation • Implementation of SOLAS V/15 • Improving the working conditions • Reducing operational failures

  30. Field of vision- conning position • 225° Horizontal field of vision from the conning positions close to the front windows and at the front workstations • 500 m/2 ship’s length vertical field of vision forward of the bow Standing when working in paper charts Conn Man Mon/Conn/Nav Nav/Man/Conn Docking Docking Route planning Safety - GMDSS Steer

  31. Bridge design – Fields of vision

  32. Field of vision- Blind sectors • Frames between windows • Dimensions • Location of front bulkhead • window frames in line of sight from working position

  33. Workstations – Fields of vision

  34. Conn. Man. Conn/Nav backup Nav/Man/Conn Dock Docking Steer Route planning Safety – GMDSS Open bridge wings – passage way door to door • Documentation – general principles • Drawings are to be submitted showing that the workstation arrangement and equipment location are complied with on all type of bridges that are to be operated in accordance with general operating procedures. • If bridge arrangement principles deviate, information on bridge functions, operating procedures including bridge resource mangement is to be submitted together with relevant drawings submitted for approval

  35. Example: Workstation arrangement

  36. Enclosed bridges Norwegian coastal express - M/T Stolt Concept

  37. Bridge resource management • Principles • Workstations for performance of dedicated functions • adequate information and equipment available • Workstation arrangement • interrelationship for effecient co-operation • Workstations manned with qualified personnel • Basic procedures are implicit and governed by the manning of WS Co-operation - Ship control - Safety operations W 8 Conning (W 2) W 1 Man Conn/Nav/backup Nav/Traffic W 4 W 4 Docking Docking W 5 W 3 W 6 - W 7 Steering Route planning Safety - GMDSS Design principles - Location of workstations Enabling efficient bridge team management during different operating conditions
